Beautiful Venom by Rina Kent Book Review
🔹 Story Background:
Beautiful Venom is a dark romance novel set in a city ruled by power, money and secret conspiracies. The city is dominated by four powerful and wealthy families:
- The Davenports – Import/Export Business
- The Armstrongs – Energy Sector
- The Callahans – Pharmaceuticals
- The Osbornes – Real Estate and Construction
These four families control every corner of the city — schools, colleges, business, media — and there is also a secret society that runs it all.
🔹 Main Characters:
1. Kane Davenport:
- The heir to the Davenports family
- Rich, powerful, and emotionally damaged
- Tough on the outside, broken on the inside
- A hero who is possessive, but deeply broken on the inside
2. Dalia:
- An ordinary but extremely strong and independent girl
- Brave, stubborn, and honest
- Unlike Kane, from a simple background
- Comes to solve the mystery of her sister Violet's disappearance
🔹 Story begins:
Dalia enrolls in the university in the city where her sister Violet studied and then suddenly disappeared. Dalia aims to find out the truth about her sister's disappearance. But as soon as she steps into the university, she encounters Kane Davenport — who is notorious for his cold nature, controlling, and dangerous attitude.
🔹 Kane and Dalia meet:
- Their first meeting is not like a fairy tale. Kane warns Dalia from the beginning to stay away from him, but Dalia is not one to give up.
- At one point Kane tells Dalia:
- "You’re a little rebellious wild flower… But I’m your winter, Dalia. No flower can survive winter."
- This is where a complex, emotional and scary love story between the two begins.
🔹 Romance and tension:
- Kane and Dalia’s relationship is not limited to just attraction or chemistry — it’s a psychological tug of war.
- Kane pushes her again and again, hurts her, but Dalia fights back even stronger each time.
- In one scene Kane pushes her away, and Dalia replies – "Bet."
- After this she makes him realize his mistake so methodically that the reader also cheers.
- The physical attraction in their relationship is very strong, but more than that, their emotional battle is interesting.
🔹 Dalia's Characteristics:
- She always tries to see the good in people, even in characters the reader does not trust.
- She not only stands up to Kane, but also challenges the structures of society.
- The flashback stories about her sister Violet are very emotional and connect the reader emotionally.
🔹 Kane's Past and Mental Struggles:
Kane was raised by an abusive father and a mentally unstable mother.
He is broken, but presents himself as strong to the world.
His relationship with his mother is complicated — while on the one hand he wants to protect her, on the other hand he also keeps his distance from her.
Kane has two best friends — Jude and Preston, who are as complex and powerful as him. All three of them experienced something during their time at boarding school that still affects their lives. This incident is related to secret societies and the dark secrets of this world.
🔹 Mystery and Thrill:
The story isn't just romance — it's full of deep-rooted secrets:
Violet's disappearance
The hidden games of the Power families
The mystery of the boarding school
And a legacy that weighs heavy on Kane and her friends.
In the midst of all this, Dalia tries to find answers — and slowly has to change herself.
🔹 Beautiful Venom vs. Enigma:
- Many readers have compared this book to Rina Kent's earlier book, Enigma.
- Both have:
- a secret society,
- an elite university setting,
- and a girl who wants to solve her sister's disappearance.
But Beautiful Venom is far stronger in execution — the narrative is tighter, the romance is intense, and the characters are more layered.
🔹 Side Characters and Next Books:
- Kane's mother is a tragic but intriguing character.
- The sisterly bonding between Dalia and Violet touches the reader's heart.
- The characters of Jude and Preston have a lot of potential.
- That's why the next two books will be based on these two characters.
Book 2 - Jude's story
Book 3 - Preston's story
Rina Kent has laid a strong foundation for this series to move forward in this book itself.
Conclusion:
Beautiful Venom is not just a dark romance — it is a psychological, emotional and suspenseful journey.
This book explores power, vulnerability, revenge and redemption all at once.
If you want to read a story that has:
- a deeply formed hero,
- a strong heroine,
- and fear and pain along with love then Beautiful Venom is a must-read for you.
